The Spirit of Christmas---!

We celebrate christmas knowing that joy is its overriding theme and that behind this joy is the reality of what christmas means. For Jesus comes to us during this season, lives among us and within us. His spirit and His love are hope for us. Christmas is the day when people celebrate love.
Wheeeew!!!.., Christmas is fast approaching and we can feel the gaiety or the merrymaking it brings. It is a joyous and meaningful event in our lives. We must welcome that blessed day with gladness. Christmas is the day of happiness for all people despite our differences-there comes the educational, racial and financial. We are happy during Christmas, it's true. Aren't we? People are busy shopping downtown for gifts to their loved ones. Families who are separated have their reunion on that day. Warm greetings are sent to old friends as well as to the new ones.
During christmas, we can see and hear many things that we cannot see or hear during other months of the year. The glowing christmas candles, lanterns, the glittering lights of the christmas trees, the cool breeze, the "misa de gallo," the heavenly christmas carols, christmas programs and parties, these and many more make us feel the Spirit of Christmas.
Friends, christmas is almost here and on that day, we will be out of school. I'm wishing you all now a very very Merry Christmas. And may theNew Year usher in something better than old!..,
